CINCINNATI BENGALS NEWS

Khalil Herbert - Stuck in small role on offense Herbert played seven of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and carried twice for four yards while adding a seven-yard reception in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Though Herbert saw solid usage during his limited time on the field, he'll likely continue to handle a small role on offense while Chase Brown has emerged as a three-down workhorse out of the backfield. Herbert also brought back two kickoffs for 67 yards in the Week 14 win, but he'll likely cede those duties to Charlie Jones (groin) if the latter player is able to play Sunday at Tennessee.

Trayveon Williams - Plays only on special teams Williams played all 13 of his snaps on special teams in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact With trade-deadline pickup Khalil Herbert having now gotten fully up to speed with the Cincinnati offense, Williams' already muted role on offense has completely evaporated. He's seen all of his snaps on special teams in each of the Bengals' last three contests.

Andrei Iosivas - Four catches in Week 14 win Iosivas played 48 of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and recorded four receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact While Iosivas outproduced No. 2 wideout Tee Higgins (2-23-0 receiving line on five targets), both players took back seats in the passing game to Ja'Marr Chase (7-87-1 on 10 targets) and Chase Brown (4-43-1 on six targets). Brown's passing-game role may be more volatile from week to week, but Chase is the Bengals' clear No. 1 option, and Higgins' poor showing in Week 14 looks to be more of an outlier performance. Even in a prolific passing attack, Iosivas doesn't look like he'll be able to carve out consistent enough volume to make for an appealing fantasy option in any given week.

Jermaine Burton - Goes without target again Monday Burton played nine of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Burton went without a target for the second game in a row and also saw his playing time on special teams take a hit. After returning five kickoffs for 46 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Steelers, Burton ceded kickoff-return duties to Khalil Herbert on Monday.

Tanner Hudson - Makes 19-yard catch in Week 14 Hudson played 14 of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 19-yard catch in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Hudson saw the least amount of playing time of any of the four Bengals tight ends that were active for the contest, but he made perhaps two of the more impactful plays of the night. The 19-yard reception was Cincinnati's fifth-longest gain of the game and extended a fourth-quarter drive, and Hudson also hopped on a Joe Burrow fumble in Bengals territory on that same possession to spare his team from an untimely turnover.

Drew Sample - Leads position group in snaps Monday Sample was on the field for 49 of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and recorded two receptions for 13 yards on two targets in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Sample comfortably paced Bengals tight ends in playing time, logging more snaps than Mike Gesicki (20), Cam Grandy (17) and Tanner Hudson (14). While it's not out of the ordinary for Sample to lead the group in snaps, he functions primarily as a blocker when he's on the field and typically isn't as involved in the passing game compared to Gesicki and Hudson, both of whom have logged more targets, receptions and receiving yards on the season.

Cam Grandy - Goes without target in Week 14 Grandy played 17 of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact One of four tight ends active for Cincinnati, Grandy finished third in the group in playing time, ahead of Tanner Hudson (14 snaps) but behind Drew Sample (49) and Mike Gesicki (20). Grandy has drawn just one target across his 29 offensive snaps over his four games this season and will likely continue to have a muted role if all of Sample, Gesicki and Hudson stay healthy.

Jordan Battle - Makes five tackles in win Battle finished with five tackles (four solo) in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact The safety also matched his season high by playing on 51 defensive snaps. Battle has 35 tackles (22 solo) and two pass breakups in 2024.

16 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Geno Stone - Picks off pass in win Stone recorded five tackles (three solo) and an interception in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact The safety now has a career-high 70 tackles (42 solo) to go along with three passes defensed, including two interceptions, in 2024. Stone has also played on at least 90 percent of the defensive snaps in all 13 of Cincinnati's games this season.

16 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Germaine Pratt - Continues to make tackles Pratt recorded seven tackles (three solo), including a tackle for a loss, and a pass breakup in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact The middle linebacker now has 117 stops (65 solo) on the year. Pratt has crossed the century mark in tackles in two straight seasons and has made at least 76 stops in all six of his pro campaigns. Pratt has also played in all 13 games this season and on at least 82 percent of the defensive snaps in each contest.

Akeem Davis-Gaither - Leads team in tackles again Davis-Gaither recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Davis-Gaither, who continues to start in place of the injured Logan Wilson (knee), also led the Bengals in tackles, with 13 (five solo), in the team's Week 13 loss to the Steelers. The linebacker played on 98 percent and 88 percent of the defensive snaps, respectively, in those two games, by far his highest snap counts of the season. Wilson is on injured reserve and likely out for the season, so Davis-Gaither should get to continue his opportunity over the campaign's final month.

Cade York - Reverts to practice squad York reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact The kicker was elevated to the active roster for Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys with Evan McPherson out due to a groin injury. York made the most of his opportunity, making both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts. With McPherson on injured reserve until at least Week 18, York looks likely to get another opportunity next Sunday against the Titans.
